Accept our sincere greetings from Chernivtsi and Hertza churches! Praise the Lord, we are still alive, and we are able to continue to perform our ministry. We are thankful to God for knowing you for so many years and for our cooperation in the ministry. Without your support and prayers, we couldn’t do so much for God’s kingdom.
We got a terrible circumstance with a full-scale war with Russia, but we trust in God despite anything, and we continue to worship God and serve Him with more zeal. This case, even more, opened people's hearts to the Gospel than it was before. So we inspire people to follow Jesus and encourage them where they are.
We continue to accept refugees from different points of Ukraine at our home. We serve them in all their needs. They told that they wondered how people in Western Ukraine love them and are hospitality to them.
One woman, Natasha, came from Kharkiv to Hertza as a refugee. She is disabled. And she needs food, hygiene products, etc. We visited her a couple of times, we brought her everything she needed. We talked with her about war and what God is doing through this case. We prayed for her health, her family, and relatives that left at home in Kharkiv. We gave her a New Testament, and she started to read. When we come the next time, she told us what she had read already.
We plan to perform the last session with our Bible school. Many of the students moved out abroad, so we pray that we could gather enough teenagers for lessons. We think about some places close to the Carpathian Mountains, so we can have a trip after lessons.
We receive a lot of calls at the hotline and people release their needs. Some girls are pregnant by Russian soldiers, and they don't know what to do, they are baffled and thinking about abortion. Another one is troubled and distressed because lost everything, relatives, and home. People are depressed and scared. We support and encourage them.
My wife Nadia arranged ministry for teenage girls. They meet in a group and research the Word of God and learn how to worship God in deeds.
Thank you for your prayers and support. God bless you abundantly!
